The localization of the electron transport chains to the thylakoid membrane ensures that A) the energy released can be used to establish an H ⁺ ion gradient. B) the energy released is stored in the stroma. C) NADP ⁺ does not enter the thylakoid space. D) CO ₂ remains in the stroma for the Calvin cycle reactions and does not enter the thylakoid space. E) glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) is produced in the thylakoid space.
